Relax in Perry Hall Park on a visit to Perry Barr
Perry Barr is conveniently located to the north of Birmingham city centre, just off the M6 motorway.
Watch the action unfurl at the Alexander Stadium or Villa Park
Perry Barr is a great base for sports fans as it's close to a string of venues. The Alexander Stadium hosts top athletics events, including the UK trials and AAA Championships, while the greyhound stadium has dog racing every Saturday night.
Admire the splendour of Aston Hall
If you're looking for grand days out, look no further than Aston Hall, a magnificent Jacobean redbrick mansion set in beautiful parkland. Don't miss the hole in the staircase made by a cannonball - a stark reminder of the brutality of the English Civil War. After a tour of the house, go for a meander around Lady Holte's Garden, where everything is sculpted in perfect symmetry.
